Errandir has already done his sheet on MythWeavers and I've got an account there so I'm going to use that as well. It's not immediately obvious to me where the sheets on TW are anyway.

Wushu The basic rules are freely available from that link. Although it is designed for 'Crouching Tiger' style Wuxia games, the rules are pretty universally applicable to other genres, and one of the supplements is Gun-Fu which adds rules for gunplay (unsurprisingly!). I'm playing a 'sky...

The Conan Chronicles volume 2 by Robert Jordan. Where thews are mighty, sorcerers are smote (smitten? smited?) and all the women have a breast-to-waist ratio that's picturesque, but I suspect a sign of lower back problems in later life. Churchill's Wizards by Nicholas Rankin. About the art of...

EDIT: Game rules and info here OK, I've sponged off the GMs here long enough, so time to take my turn in the metaphorical barrel and offer up a game of my own. Now don't ask me where this brainwave sprang from - my usual source is eating cheese before bedtime but this seems to have emerged...

A couple of coppers for a rag to wipe the drool off his firing hand and you're golden.

@ Errandir - looks good from your sheet. Can't answer the familiar question, but as far as metamagic feats, as far as I know there is nothing stopping you using your feat @ 1st to take one but the only 'metamagic' feat with a +0 adjustment that you could qualify for is Eschew Materials. All...

I've recently started playing a pbp on another site using the Wushu rules. Wushu - Wushu Open Core Rules ( Saberpunk.net ) I got this (probably deranged) idea in my head that I might use the rules to run my own pbp, but rather than the 'Crouching Tiger' style game that we are playing, use it...

This article on writing mystery scenarios is quite a nice idea. Called the '3 clue rule', as the name implies if there is a key point in the game where you need the PCs to do something, don't only give them one way to figure it out; give them 3 to increase the chances they will resolve it...

*snicker* And as far as I recall, magic items - unless called out in the main book or Transcendence eg Tylonian crystal - are just taken from the DMG.

My pleasure. IIRC, it was re-published in Dragon as well under their periodic spotlight on Dungeon that they used to do - no idea which issue though! If you've found it a good read, I hope that means I haven't viewed it overly kindly through the rose-tinted spectacles of nostalgia. Due to lack...

There goes my self-aware battle staff of doom...;)

Heh, yes one of my potential fellow players (who shall remain nameless) gave me a brief summary of what to expect. I'm playing another very low cash/magic game on here just now and find it curiously refreshing so limits on that side of things don't worry me. On the character options front, the...

Great thanks! On the character sheet question, if people don't have Excel then the simplest option is probably just a text template. Here's one that one of my other GMs made up for his game, and I tend to use now. Name: Mustapha bin-Hanif Age: Unknown Class: Alchemist/Bard...

@ Neurotic - quite a few changes between the PF beta and final release. This should get you started: Pathfinder SRD (Pathfinder_OGC) @ Mowgli - I'd never really read that trait in any detail before. Wow, it's pretty sweet for a mixed caster - almost as good as the old Practised Caster, but...

Fine. Just in case you were wondering, for bomb damage, as it is specifically called in the class description, I'm adding +1 for Point Blank Shot on a direct hit. It strikes me that although it then says that splash damage is the minimum direct hit damage, adding the PBS bonus to this makes no...

Renya gently touches the scholar's arm, and nods at the map, enquiringly. Taking it from him, she moves over to Sindri and spreads it on the ground; before starting she pauses to look in Jack's direction, as if encouraging the troll-like creature to join them. Once she has their attention, the...

Spot obviously not on my class list... EDIT: OK, got the basics down. I'd like to use the 'Whirling Frenzy' rage variant from UA page 66 please, otherwise as per core Barbarian. I did look at some of the Totem barbarians in UA but almost all of them rely on swapping fast movement for something...

2 ways I've found of getting my enthusiasm going again in 30 odd years of gaming: change groups anf change game systems. I've played the same basic adventure dozens of time most likely, but a new group of players might approach it in a different (and interesting) way, and a new set of mechanics...

If Trapfinding was a feat we wouldn't be in this position ;) OK, Errandir goes wizard, GandalfM goes Ranger, WarShrike goes Favoured Soul and I've decided I'm going to try something I kicked about ages ago but never did anything with: Halfling Barbarian. Just so I can start thinking about...

Great minds and all that... I was looking at taking Modify Spell, Brandish Magical Might and at least one of the spell templates for the Professor.
